Idea

A hyperbolic Kac-Moody Lie algebra in the E-series

E6, E7, E8, E9, E 10E_{10}, E11, …

Properties

As U-duality group of 1d M-theory

E 10E_{10} is conjectured (e.g. Nicolai 08) to be the U-duality group (see there) of M-theory compactified to 1 dimension (see also F/M-theory on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau 5-folds).
